mk2 gt

cheers guys ill have a go at it tomorrow also any ideas of how i should stick my pods to the doors? they will be half on the metal half on door card down in the bottom left corner on drivers side and bottom right corner for passenger

yea they are in a rubbery type plastic thing but i couldnt find all the screws to get it out

hey guys i want to install my head unit into the escort but i have no idea on how to pull out the original radio (newbie to old school) was wondering if anyone could recommend places to get this done a.s.a.p

im in botany

pods arrived a few days ago awsome pods im very pleased with them, i just need to install them and then i can get pics.

have wired up my amp for my sub and have screwed it to the back seat, will try get picks up soon, sub is in how ever its held in by rope at the mo :S so i need to sort that out.

i have no idea how to stick my cd player in to the factory place, as i do not know how to pull the standard am/fm radio out.

as soon as i get this sorted out i will post some picks up

it will seem like that because of the angle the photo is taken on, that looks mint with the ride height like that and love the wheels

will silvertop quad throttle bodies bolt onto my blue top?

how do we get the old school.co.nz sitcker? i wouldnt mind a banner one to put across the top of my rear windscreen and to smaller ones for the side windows

oh well i not sure then there will be some reason for it

yep all certd and legal, its on a slant to clear the drive shaft

it slants to the fire wall also, he was going to run it in targa so i guess its all good

just invested in these door pods for front doors for my comps

seeing as it just got a warrent then i dont see it being a problem

spacie- yes i did turns out he used to work at taupo ford and mazda for my step dads business partner haha and my step dad knew him form ages ago.

mr XXX - thanks for the comment!

methodz100 - read that article it was very helpful thanks

just wondering does anyone have any info on the bluetop tvis motor? the info i seem to find on google about them in sonfusign and some is contradictroy, what power do they have stock? what is their rev limiter set at? how much torque do they have?

well this is a 79 and it doesnt have rear seat belts aparently it doesnt need them? and it just got a warrent like that

the rear has not seat belts and i can fold the back seats down that enough?

am i able to get 5% tints in the rear of my wagon legaly?

i have found another bluetop engine and was thinking of possibly turboing it, what would it take for it to get a turbo working on it? would i be able to make it turbo being high compression and all? are all blue tops high compression? if not what would be some good mods to do to the motor to get some good power out of it?

no i pick it up on friday i hope!! it needs some surface rust fixed on it, i have a mate who owns a panel beating shop so ill take it to him, i am going to take it to peter vanbrougle's to get the fuel pump/fuel pick up sorted out. and i am going to carpet the boot to make it look nicer. it may need a new front bearing but thats no biggie, windscreen has a crack in it but he said it seemed to stop craking so ill leave it for now and maybe sort something out when i get back to auckland in jan next year(unless i can find one before i go away)

Draizuh - found out its the high compression motor so i wont be super charging it BUT! i found a guy who is pulling one out of a ae86 and is willing to sell it to me, so i will tinkle with that motor and see what i can do with it waiting to hear on a price. he said he also has a exedy clutch kit but i dont think i cann afford that right now

i am the new owner of a 1979 escort wagon estate powered by a blue top 4a-ge tvis motor diff has been tightened diff, exhaust system, electric fan, 5 speed toyots gearbox, 14inch Superlyte alloys and Interior has Fishnet Recaro seats in Grey

pics:

when you say rebuild what do you mean by that how much of the motor should a rebuild?

yep they came out with 1600 x-flows to

haha thats the thing i dont know what im doing but i remembered my uncle also has a mk 2 so maybe he can help me, wont i need to cert the car if i change the motor?

i found a kent cam for a 1.6 cross flow for $200 brand new i just need to source a motor

are the mk2 gt motors no good?

was going to go my step dad races his silvia is in the show room at mag n turbo at palmy. for some reason he isnt going to race now thou

i just spoke to a guy about using a v6 capri carby and he said it would work but anything below 3k of revs it would be gutless untill you get right up the revs then you will get power. he said the better option to do would be to use a 2L cortina carby if i am not going to heavily mod the engine which i wont at this stage
